LOVIATHAN 

One world ends. Another is born. But LOVE and BETRAYAL endure, weaving their dance of ages, against the bright abyss of Eternity.
A new webcomic premiering APRIL, 2008 on ACTIVATE and Comic Space.

PARADE video interview with The Comic Collective  

ACT-I-VATE studio cartoonist Mike Cavallaro talks with TheCC about his new book, Parade (with fireworks) and how the basis of the comic spans decades of his family's history on their journeys from an Italian countryside lost between two World Wars.

Parade (with fireworks) Part One 

1923. Italy was plummeting towards another War and the slightest insult could result in violence. One day it did. Paolo is caught between Fascists and his family, and his life will be changed forever.
Parade (wf) #1 from Image Comics 9/12/07

Parade (with fireworks) Part Two 

After a violent confrontation with the Fascists, Paolo hides out until things quiet down. But he is betrayed, turned over to the fascist party and imprisoned! Paolo's real heartbreak, however, is yet to come.

It is really great to find a story that I'm eager to be posted... Parade (with fireworks) is a real thing of beauty.

Mike- Parade with Fireworks is excellent. I love the colors, composition, story, everything. Any chance this will be in print form?

Hi Mike!

I like your stuff . I find the effective B/W style in 66 TMPH #1 very impressive.

66 K MPH is something I could see coming from you. It fits your personality.
Parade Without fireworks is so unexpected. It is introspective, moving slowly, not jumping in my face.

Both are very well done. Well, all the work is good, it's just these two I like the best.

Parade Without fireworks seems to be a cross artistically between Kurztman and Guy Billout and yet neither at the same time because it's all you.

I'm looking forward to more.
